First we need to have same units before comparing them. That is, either both of them are in cm or both of them are in mm. So if we need to convert 12.5 cm to mm, we know that 1 cm =10 mm. So we have to find out how many mm are in 12.5 cm. And let 12.5 cm =x mm. So to find the value of x , we set a proportion and solve for x. That is
The units cancel out and we do cross multiplication. That is
x=125
So 12.5 cm =125 mm. Therefore the correct proportion is C.
Question:
James has 14,500g of sand in his sandbox. He brings home another 7,400g of sand from the beach to add to his sandbox. How many kilograms of sand does James have in his sandbox now?
Answer:
The quantity of sandbox James has is 21.9kg
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Initial quantity of sandbox = 14,500 g
Additional quantity = 7,400 g
Required
Total quantity of sandbox in kg
Tp get the total quantity of sandbox, we simply add in the initial and additional quantity of sandbox together;
This is represented mathematically as follows;
Total = Initial Quantity + Additional Quantity
Total = 14,500 g + 7,400 g
Total = 21,900 g
But the question says the answer should be in kg
1000 g is equivalent to 1 kg
21,900 g will be equivalent to
Hence, the quantity of sandbox James has is 21.9kg
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
slope intercept form is y = mx + b
b is the y intercept ( crossing y axis value).... by inspection b = -4
m is the slope of the line, Slope = m = 1/4 note: the slope is positive
the slope equals the 'rise' over 'run'
if the line moves up the slope is positive, if the line moves down the slope is negative
the rise is how many y units does the line go 'up' or 'down'
the run is how many x units does the line go 'left' or 'right'
the rise = 1 Y unit
the run = 4 X units
y = mx + b m =1/4 b = -4
y = (1/4)x + (-4)
y = (1/4)x - 4
graph a line stating at y = -4 and going up (rising) to the right ONE Y Unit for every FOUR X units (the run)
